If only my parents knew that all the Hot Wheels, Lego kits and my first remote control truck, she bought me from a garage sale when I was 3 years old, would lead to the path that life has taken me on. If only foresight was as clear as Hindsight!

The stories my parents tell, I was that kid that would be taking apart a perfectly good toy just to try to figure out how to put it back together. As that burning desire in my mind continued to learn and grow the projects became greater and more comprehensively complex.

Skip a few too many years and here I am buying everyday items off the shelf, knowing mold flow analysis, clasping mechanism stress analysis, material properties and their elasticity (and some not…). It has allowed me to tackle life in ways I personally never would have been able to comprehend if I never looked back and understood where I came from. Working on simple tasks around the house to properly removing the “standardized” automotive fasteners used when taking off all the interior hard trim in my daily driver vehicle when making modifications to whichever system I cannot simply leave be. Transfer these skills and bigger picture forethought and I have tackled many new challenges, for example learning and excelling in 2 stroke motors while also using the fundamentals taught to me in university studies.

I like to have fun whether it be while working, out on the lake, or tinkering around the workshop at home... I like to push the limits of fun at home and push the limits to expand the greater knowledge with a different view point. Teams work best when everyone contributes to further test and tune which ideas have the greatest value and which can finely polish a great rough idea into a industry groundbreaking idea.
